adorned with Grace: Defining true beauty

Finally, our August mini-sale is up! We have taken about 10% off of our single, full-sized mineral products as well as discounted some of our face brushes in both the Ingenue & Premium Line. Also added is a LE Mini Custom Kit where you get to choose a Full-Sized Foundation with your choice of either one powder, one blush, or two eyecolors! We do apologize as we cannot include the LE Summer 2009 Eyecolors in the LE Mini Custom Kit or in our August sale since our inventory is actually running low and may sell out of certain colors very soon. It has been one of our best selling collections and are still in pretty high demand! Our sale will run through the entire month of August. HOWEVER, the sale on the Ingenue & Premium brushes is limited to In-Stock Brushes . If we happen to sell out of the brushes during the sale, when they are restocked, it will be at regular price. In addition, we are running a Blog Special where you *may* qualify for a discount code on your NEXT order if ...

Yes, some of you already found us over the last few months--I had opened an account but just haven't had the time to get the Info and other stuff up until late last week. So sorry--we weren't ignoring you! adorned with Grace Minerals Facebook page (User name is Adornedwith Grace) We'll post our Blog sales and probably more reminders and such over there and now that I have a photo album over there, I would love to see photos you wonderful customers wearing our products! You can send them over to me with a message and I'll put them up!

I just wanted to let you all know that there will be no Blog Special this week and we will also be closing down early since we will be out of town from Friday, August 14 to Monday, August 17. So if you happen to order anything this week, as long as we receive it by Thursday evening, August 13 it should ship out the following day. Otherwise, the earliest it will ship would be the Tuesday, and most likely the Wednesday following. But to give you a little incentive to wait until next week to order, we do plan on having a mini-sale, mostly on single items (not sets) and some LE Customs sets that we haven't decided on yet. This sale will likely last about one week so make sure to tune back in (or subscribe to ensure you get our announcement) in about 7-9 days to see what goodies we'll have marked down for you!

This weeks Blog Special combines Janice's Choice Brush Set & the Microfiber Waschcloth (set of three) set for $27.77. (But this has a value of $42.28 even at the sale prices!) But to sweeten the deal, you are also allowed to get ten free baggies samples of your choice! Before you click and purchase this Blog Special, please keep in mind a few things: 1. This is good until August 7, 2009 (Friday) BUT there are only a limited number of these available for sale, so if you click on the listing below and it is not there anymore, then they are gone for good! So if this ends up being a popular set, it might even be gone by the end of the day. (I doubt it, but you never know, lol!) 2. You can pick any ten samples, but only one sample of each color . This Blog Special is intended for those that may have not tried any awG products yet or have tried them but want to sample more. If you have two or more samples of the same color, expect your order to be delayed as we will need the ext...

About two weeks ago, I posted a Top Ten of my favorite things. One of the items, the Microfiber Washcloth, seemed to generate some questions especially in regards to keratosis pilaris. Unfortunately, I did not remember to take "before and after" pics but I can say in my experience that it has done wonderfully for smoothing my arms. I have been using the Microfiber washcloth for about five-six months now pretty regularly and it kind of helped smooth it out but it was not until I started using the coconut oil (and the Microfiber cloth) about a month ago that I started to notice the bumps slowly smooth down significantly and the redness go away. All I notice now is bump or two and some light brown spots where the old bumps were and I am hoping that those will heal and disappear in a matter of time as well! So my method? All I do is make sure to exfoliate daily (without cleanser on it) on the backs of my arms with firm pressure in a circular massage motion. I try not to do it...

Hey, all! I'm back with a Blog Special for this week! But before I share the links I need to explain that I'm going to be adding a new Limited Edition listing that I'll have "as needed" when good ideas arise: a Customer Request Set! I had a customer ask about having a special brush set that she wanted to give to a family member as a gift and she was hoping for some basic face brushes, specifically the ones listed in this set. Just go to our Limited Edition page and scroll down to the bottom to find it or simply click HERE to see the listing. These brushes are actually mentioned on my very last "Favorite Things" post as they are dupes of the MAC 187, 188, & 138. The price on these three brushes (plus the Blog Special) doesn't even cover the cost of one MAC brush! The sale on the LE Customer Request set will be over either when we run out of our current stock of brushes or July 29, whichever comes first. However, I *think* I will have enough for...

Before I take off for the weekend I thought I'd leave you all this post; I've been getting lots of emails from my customers asking me what brush or makeup product I like using best & would recommend (from my adorned with Grace TM store) so I thought it might be fun and perhaps informative to give you a Top Ten list of the things *I* love and can't live without. I did a Top Ten list of products my first month of blogging, but that was what is popular with my customers --these are my own personal loves! 1. Supreme Smoothing Powder : I use this as a primer underneath my foundation all over my face and then I go over it lightly around my more visible pores or areas I feel like need an extra smoothing. Gives a "Photoshopped" look to my face, lol! See a blog post here that I did about it: Supreme Smoothing Powder: Does it work? 2. Metal Eyelash Comb : I get asked a LOT about this item---like does it really work better than the regular brow brushes? Well, let m...
